   If you do not meet the above requirements, you may still be considered if, for example:
  
    You've been serving overseas with HM Forces or in some other official capacity as a representative of HM Government
    You were studying abroad
    You were living overseas with parents
  
   In such cases you will need to be able to provide referee cover for the period(s) of residence overseas. The duration of overseas residence and the country of abode will also be taken into account.
